Practice 4 of 10

Please read the original source material carefully and then select the entry,
either "A" or "B," that you think has not been plagiarized.

Original Source
Material: If one were going to be limited to a single method, then
certainly the verbal report from a respondent would be the choice. With
no other device can an investigator swing his attention into so many different
areas of substantive content, often simultaneously, and also gather intelligence
on the extent to which his findings are hampered by population restrictions.

A)
In gathering verbal reports from subjects the investigator can swing his
attention into many different areas of substantive content, and gather
intelligence on the extent to which his findings are hampered by population
restrictions.

B)
The advantages claimed for verbal reports as a form of data gathering
are that "an investigator [can] swing his attention into so many different
areas of substantive content, often simultaneously, and also gather intelligence
on the extent to which his findings are hampered by population restrictions"
(Webb, Campbell, Schwartz & Sechrest, 1966, pp. 172-173).
